Yes, I have the right board. Good to know, thanks Paul!

Note that there are 2 different types of numbering on the rear number boards of the 1516. Left one has straighter vertical numbering while the right numbers are slanted.

Hmmm, sometimes a number board from one unit is used to replace a broken/damaged one on another. It is flipped over and the required number painted on the other side.

I have the 1516 number board in my office on the wall! (Acquired from the scrapper) Interestingly enough on the other side of the rear engineer side board is the # 8250. I’ve got a double board, any idea how that happened Paul?
